Zusammenfassung:In 1871, 59 late medieval pavises were discovered in an old tower in Klausen, Tyrol. These shields – decorated with the Austrian coat of arms as well as two small coats of arms – were later sold by the town. They ended up in various collections and museums around the world. Three of these pavises can be linked to the Julius Böhler art dealership in Munich. The trade in historical arms and armour, once part of the art dealer’s main business, declined in the early 20th century. Thanks to the Böhler Archive at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, gaps in the prov enance chain could be closed in the case of the piece now at the Art Institute of Chicago, formerly in the collection of George F. Harding. The archival documents in the Bayerisches Wirtschaftsarchiv prove that the second one, then in the Hans Fink collection in Vienna, was probably mistaken for another one. The third one, as yet unknown, acquired by the Wuppertal varnish factory Dr. Kurt Herberts & Co. for their collection of painting materials science, was likely destroyed in WWII.
